    PAW ENCYCLOPEDIA
[00:27] ---
    Haven't seen him in a long time.
[00:43] ---
    Granny Cat...
[00:45] ---
    Give me 400 ninja cat kunai knives
    and 600 shuriken.
[00:50] ---
    Well, what a surprise that
    you would come yourself.
[00:58] ---
    The Uchiha brat was
    so cute back then.
[01:07] ---
    What?! We're going to catch
    another cat?!
[01:11] ---
    Not quite. It's actually a Nekomata.
[01:15] ---
    Our mission is to get
    the paw print of this Nekomata.
[01:26] ---
    Nekomata, or whatever!
[01:30] ---
    Let someone else go on
    D-rank missions like that!
[01:35] ---
    Right, Sasuke? Aren't you tired
    of missions like this?
[01:39] ---
    Speak up and tell him.
[01:43] ---
    Sasuke?
[01:46] ---
    If you don't like it, don't come.
[01:48] ---
    This is an Uchiha...
    or rather, my mission.
[01:52] ---
    Why?!
[03:23] ---
    - Leaf's History -
    Sasuke's Paw Encyclopedia
    
    
    
[03:29] ---
    I'm glad you came, Sasuke boy.
[03:33] ---
    It's been a long time, Granny Cat.
[03:35] ---
    My, how you've grown.
[03:37] ---
    You know her, Sasuke?
[03:39] ---
    What is this place anyway?
[03:47] ---
    This is the shop where
    the Uchiha clan buys weapons.
[03:51] ---
    Granny Cat is the source of
    invaluable data for the Uchiha.
[03:54] ---
    She is also our client
    for this mission.
[03:56] ---
    Tamaki...
[03:58] ---
    Bring me the Paw Encyclopedia.
[04:01] ---
    Here you are, Granny.
[04:09] ---
    You turned that into a book?!
[04:11] ---
    Sasuke...
[04:12] ---
    You seem to know a lot
    about this mission.
[04:16] ---
    Care to explain why?
[04:21] ---
    Originally, this book was a game between
    Sasuke and his older brother Itachi.
[04:25] ---
    Don't talk about him!
[04:32] ---
    I'm going to start preparations
    for the mission.
[04:39] ---
    What's with him?
[04:42] ---
    They used to be so close back then.
[04:45] ---
    Itachi often came by on errands
    with little Sasuke in tow.
[04:52] ---
    But Sasuke would get bored,
    throw tantrums,
[04:56] ---
    and give Itachi such a hard time.
[05:00] ---
    So Itachi came up with the game
[05:02] ---
    of gathering the paw prints
    of quick and nimble cats.
[05:07] ---
    You mean a kid's game.
[05:09] ---
    Well yes.
[05:10] ---
    But he already had the skills of a genin
    even before entering the Academy.
[05:16] ---
    He was an Uchiha all right.
[05:20] ---
    MIKE THE SWIFT
    
    
[05:21] ---
    MIKE THE SWIFT
    
    Anyway, it was a cute game at first.
[05:22] ---
    Anyway, it was a cute game at first.
[05:26] ---
    TWO-SIDED WILD CAT
    
    But things began to escalate.
[05:27] ---
    But things began to escalate.
[05:30] ---
    Sasuke completed nearly all the quotas
    that Itachi half-jokingly assigned him.
[05:36] ---
    DREAD LION
    
    And his collection of paw prints
    became this book.
[05:41] ---
    But even after Sasuke stopped,
    it's bothered me.
[05:46] ---
    As for one of two remaining quotas
    that Itachi assigned,
[05:50] ---
    I asked Ni'i of the Hidden Cloud,
    and she kindly agreed.
[05:55] ---
    Ni'i of the Hidden Cloud?
    What's that?
[05:58] ---
    And so, you're asking us to
    get the last one?
[06:03] ---
    However...
[06:05] ---
    Nekomata is a big shot in
    the ninja cat underworld
[06:08] ---
    that never shows his face in public.
[06:14] ---
    He hides in an impregnable fortress.
[06:17] ---
    The number of ninja cats
    who guard Nekomata is unknown.
[06:20] ---
    Can a three-man cell of genin manage this?
[06:24] ---
    Just leave it to us!
    Right, Sakura?
[06:29] ---
    Even Itachi thought this was
    too difficult for Sasuke
[06:33] ---
    and wouldn't allow him to go.
[06:35] ---
    You'll have to exercise extreme caution.
[06:38] ---
    So that's what was bothering Sasuke.
[06:45] ---
    I'll go beyond the boundary he set.
[06:50] ---
    Hey, Sasuke. Let's change into cats
    and infiltrate that fortress!
[06:57] ---
    I guess the best way to infiltrate
    a fortress of cats is to become one.
[07:03] ---
    Transformation Jutsu!
[07:08] ---
    How is that supposed to be a cat?!
[07:12] ---
    I thought I looked pretty good.
[07:15] ---
    You don't have to transform.
[07:17] ---
    Besides, transforming won't make
    you understand cat talk.
[07:21] ---
    And so! If you put these on,
    the cats will think you're one of them!
[07:27] ---
    If it's that simple, why didn't you give me
    these from the very start?!
[07:34] ---
    I-I'm expected to wear this?!
[07:44] ---
    We're known in these parts,
    so we can't go any further.
[07:48] ---
    No ninja cat has ever
    seen Nekomata's face.
[07:52] ---
    Will you be able to find him?
[07:54] ---
    Thanks to these,
    infiltrating will be quite easy.
[07:58] ---
    You look so cute, Sasuke!
[08:01] ---
    If we can get in successfully,
    the rest will be easy.
[08:05] ---
    Let's go!
[08:06] ---
    Hold it.
[08:08] ---
    Sasuke, we're supposed to be able
    to talk to ninja cats with this thing.
[08:13] ---
    Meaning there's no need
    to start a fight.
[08:16] ---
    Let's just talk it out with him.
[08:17] ---
    I'm sure he'll be happy to give us
    one or two of his paw prints.
[08:20] ---
    Impossible.
[08:22] ---
    Why's that?
[08:23] ---
    Having your paw print taken is
    extremely embarrassing for a cat.
[08:28] ---
    For humans, it's like being stripped naked,
    then photographed.
[08:35] ---
    Is that all? A nude photograph?
    Just coax them gently.
[08:39] ---
    I mean, even Sakura would allow it.
[08:42] ---
    Right, Sakura?
[08:44] ---
    As if! You pervert!
[08:47] ---
    I think talking will be useless.
[08:50] ---
    Thanks for showing us the way.
[08:53] ---
    Get going, pervert.
[09:02] ---
    Next!
[09:07] ---
    I don't recognize you guys.
[09:09] ---
    We're newbie cats!
[09:12] ---
    Here.
[09:15] ---
    For someone new,
    you're quick to catch on.
[09:21] ---
    What gave us away?!
[09:22] ---
    Like I know!
[09:25] ---
    This is a reward for you.
[09:26] ---
    New cats that get the idea are welcome!
[09:31] ---
    What's the matter?
    You're welcome to it.
[09:34] ---
    W-We have to play along or
    they'll get suspicious.
[09:43] ---
    I must do this to get
    Nekomata's paw print!
[09:46] ---
    Hey, this is kind of fun.
[09:55] ---
    Stupid sneeze.
[09:58] ---
    This is fun.
[10:00] ---
    A human! There's a human in our midst!
[10:03] ---
    Huh?! W-What're you saying?!
[10:06] ---
    You idiot! Let's go!
[10:08] ---
    Hey, those two are suspicious too!
[10:10] ---
    They're impostors! Alert! Alert!
[10:14] ---
    S-Sasuke! Sakura!
[10:19] ---
    What business does a human have
    with Boss Nekomata's fortress?!
    
    
[10:22] ---
    Get out! Get out, now!
    
    
[10:24] ---
    O-Okay, I get it!
[10:26] ---
    I'm guessing you're telling me
    to leave, right?
[10:28] ---
    Okay, I'm going.
[10:30] ---
    Damn it. It's back to the drawing board!
[10:42] ---
    What's with all this security?
    What's going on?
[10:46] ---
    I heard some human slipped in.
[10:49] ---
    A human?! If he's nearby, I'll snare him!
[10:53] ---
    We don't have to worry about Naruto.
[10:56] ---
    We'll take advantage of the commotion
    and search for Nekomata.
[11:00] ---
    Sakura, you start from the east tower.
    I'll take the west.
[11:04] ---
    Huh? At the very least,
    we need a two-man team for this.
[11:08] ---
    They already know we've infiltrated.
    Time is of the essence.
[11:12] ---
    It's smarter to split up for the search!
[11:14] ---
    O-Okay, I understand.
[11:20] ---
    What's all the commotion?
[11:23] ---
    Boss! A human! There's a human
    who slipped into the fortress!
[11:27] ---
    A human infiltrator?!
    Kick him out this instant!
[11:32] ---
    Right!
[11:35] ---
    A human? It's been seven years since...
[11:42] ---
    No, it couldn't be.
[11:58] ---
    If I can't get past the front gate,
[12:00] ---
    I'll just sneak in from
    the side like a ninja.
[12:16] ---
    BAR CAT'S EYE
    
    
[12:17] ---
    BAR CAT'S EYE
    
    The best place to get information is a bar.
[12:45] ---
    Your Matatabi drink, miss.
[12:46] ---
    Oh...I didn't order yet.
[12:50] ---
    It's from that customer over there.
[12:55] ---
    May I join you?
[12:58] ---
    Oh, yes.
[13:08] ---
    A new acquaintance.
    This occasion calls for...
[13:16] ---
    You've gotta try this, it's so good!
[13:22] ---
    Say, do you know a cat named Nekomata?
[13:25] ---
    You mean, Boss?
[13:27] ---
    He always stays in
    the main fortress tower.
[13:29] ---
    Oh, thank you.
[13:31] ---
    You can have this.
[13:51] ---
    Rigged plastic bottles?!
[13:53] ---
    These are supposed to be used
    against cats! Not by cats!
[14:00] ---
    B-Boss is in the main tower.
[14:09] ---
    I'm sure Sasuke is also heading there.
[14:15] ---
    You don't look familiar.
[14:17] ---
    I-I'm new here.
[14:20] ---
    I see. So what do you want
    with the boss?
[14:24] ---
    Oh no... He overheard
    my earlier conversation.
[14:31] ---
    Who are you?!
[14:35] ---
    You must have infiltrated with
    that human earlier!
[14:39] ---
    Small fries can stay out of this!
[14:41] ---
    Don't call me a small fry!
[14:50] ---
    I won't allow you to get near the boss!
[14:54] ---
    He's fast!
[14:55] ---
    If there's an opening,
    it'll be the instant he lands!
[15:01] ---
    Cha!
[15:06] ---
    What was that just now?
[15:08] ---
    I know I landed a hit,
    but there was no reaction.
[15:11] ---
    He's quick and flexible.
[15:14] ---
    Then I'll take advantage of his power
    when he gets close!
[15:20] ---
    It's so obvious you want the counter.
[15:25] ---
    Y-You...
[15:29] ---
    Y-You're a human?!
[15:32] ---
    Well then... No mercy!
[15:34] ---
    Prepare to die!
[15:42] ---
    Cat's fur cannot repel water.
[15:44] ---
    When a cat's fur is drenched with water,
    its body temperature drops rapidly.
[15:52] ---
    I-It's cold.
[15:56] ---
    I give up.
[16:01] ---
    We've been beaten!
[16:14] ---
    So you made it all the way here.
[16:18] ---
    Kid, who are you?
[16:21] ---
    Are you Nekomata?
[16:23] ---
    It'll be easy if you willingly
    offer your paw.
[16:26] ---
    If not, it'll probably be quite painful.
[16:31] ---
    You have the guts to stand before me
    and make such threats.
[16:46] ---
    What is this?
[16:56] ---
    Who are you?
[17:38] ---
    Sharingan!
[18:13] ---
    Disappear!
[18:20] ---
    Sharingan can see through genjutsu.
[18:23] ---
    Genjutsu has no effect on me!
[18:27] ---
    You're pretty good.
    Then I'll go with brute strength!
[18:54] ---
    Sasuke...
[19:05] ---
    Here's the final blow!
[19:12] ---
    Snap out of it, Sasuke!
[19:14] ---
    Sasuke!
[19:16] ---
    Are you all right?
[19:18] ---
    Sakura... Naruto...
[19:21] ---
    So this is Nekomata?
[19:24] ---
    The headliner, Naruto Uzumaki, is here!
[19:27] ---
    Stay out of this!
[19:28] ---
    Huh?!
[19:29] ---
    He's mine!
[19:32] ---
    Besides...it's just about over!
[19:35] ---
    There's no need to dodge it.
[19:40] ---
    Paper bombs?!
[19:41] ---
    You didn't think I was just
    running around, did you?
[19:57] ---
    Mission accomplished!
[20:03] ---
    You drew an unlucky number
    that time, Nekomata.
[20:08] ---
    I wanted to have a go with him
[20:10] ---
    since he was Itachi's kid brother.
[20:15] ---
    Besides, I couldn't refuse
    a request from Itachi.
[20:20] ---
    M-Monster!
[20:23] ---
    In time, my kid brother will come.
[20:27] ---
    When he does,
    fight him with all your might.
[20:30] ---
    Although, with your strength,
[20:32] ---
    my brother doesn't have it
    in him yet to beat you.
[20:34] ---
    Then why?!
[20:37] ---
    Growth occurs when one
    goes beyond one's limits.
[20:41] ---
    Realizing that is also part of training.
[20:45] ---
    I hate to admit it, but Sasuke passed
    Itachi's test with flying colors.
[20:52] ---
    Indeed.
[20:55] ---
    But how unfortunate...
[20:56] ---
    Those two brothers were so close.
[22:37] ---
    Old man. They call you the "Eternal Genin,"
    but how long have you been doing this for?
    
    
[22:40] ---
    It'll be fifty years this year.
    
    
[22:42] ---
    That's some history!
    
    
[22:45] ---
    I had my share of memories with
    each of the Hokages.
    
    
[22:48] ---
    Ah yes, I also had the chance
    
    
[22:50] ---
    to work alongside the great Lord Jiraiya,
    one of the Legendary Sannin.
    
    
[22:53] ---
    With Pervy Sage?!
    
    
[22:56] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Naruto and the Old Soldier"
    
    
[22:59] ---
    Who is this old man?
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
